It’s the fairest chase of all.  95% of the time the critter gets away.  And the other 5%, you can make sure it’s a mature animal before you squeeze the trigger.

I think the spin on that - is how fair of chase is it when many (not saying you or all) but some/many don't leave the truck until they get the treed signal on the gps?  Can the bear/cat get down and run again sure and then obviously the harvest.. 
On the harassment side, I would say animals running until they decide to tree regardless and the possibilities of cubs getting separated from sows etc - should speak to that. 

 

The animal being chased (harassed) and then not harvested - I think even plays into the anti-hand more tbh.

It’s ok ….in a few years I have no doubt they will be prohibited ! 

Yeah, and you think they will just stop with hound hunting.  They want it all gone.  You are with us, or you are with them.  There is no middle ground.
 

sounds like you are the enemy.

Works for me ! 
 

I prefer disc golf anyways …the sheer excitement of watching the disc float through the air is unmatched, plus I could adopt your hounds and they could chase the discs ! Win win ……

Ok, so is it harassment when coyotes and wolves run animals to death and the eat them, or just kill for sport?  Hound hunting is an historically and anthropologically correct activity .  Hound hunting is good for all hunting.  
 

On the sow note, boars kill cubs.  When you tree a bear, you can make certain you are killing a boar, thus preserving cubs to adulthood.  
 

what’s more, once an animal is treed, and hear/sees a person with those hounds, that bear/lion will not attack a human.

He admits he is an animal right activist who wants to end all hunting.  Don’t forget that.

Careful not to over indulge, you still want that fine figure so you can squeeze into those skinny jeans.

Don’t worry …your wife is very pleased with how I fit into those skinny jeans…..we are meeting later to discuss my adoption of your hounds ………

Haha.

Banter aside, I do wish you would get on board with us, for the sake of hunting in general.  IMO, it’s kind of an all or none battle.  I don’t personally hound hunt, nor do I have hounds.  I have never taken an animal with dogs.   
My son does…

I do think it’s a battle we need to stick together on.   
 

im not sure if you legit hunt or not, or if you’re just  troll.  But if you do hunt, I want you to continue that tradition.  
 

Trapping was the first  domino, hounds, bears and lions will be next.

Then we’ll have nothing left but soy lattes!😜

Define legit hunter…. I spend thousands of dollars to successfully not fill my tag most years. 
 

I would like to think of my self as both a hunter and a troll …..

 

All joking aside I would never vote against any statue that would remove hunting as it’s my only hobby, I was mainly trolling you guys …I get bored easily.
 

 That being said I do feel there is too much pressure on public lands, people need to get back to the bars and their drug addictions or what not.
